Important Scholarship Concerning an Early Spanish Printing Manual

1. ALVAREZ, Pablo, ed. and trans. Alonso Víctor de Paredes’ Institution of the Art of Printing, and General Rules for Compositors [Madrid: ca. 1680]. Forward by Don W. Cruickshank. Ann Arbor: The Legacy Press, 2018. Large 8°, black buckram with dust jacket. As new. xiv pp., (1 blank l.), 449 pp., (3 blank ll.). Illustrations, facsimile reproductions, and diagrams in text. ISBN: 9781940965109. $100.00

FIRST and ONLY EDITION. Pablo Alvarez offers the first complete English translation of Alonso Víctor de Paredes’ Institucion, y origen del arte de la imprenta, y reglas generales para los componedores [Institution, and Origin of the Art of Printing, and General Rules for Compositors]. This 96-page printing manual – set and printed by Paredes himself – was issued in Madrid around 1680. It opens with an introductory digression on the origin of writing and printing, followed by ten technical chapters on each of the tasks that are necessary to print a book, including a detailed description of the different kinds of type sizes and their use, the rules of orthography and punctua-tion, the setting of numeric systems, imposition, casting off, the printing of university dissertations, and the correction of proofs. Some of the chapters are of unique relevance for the understanding of early printing in Europe. Chapter 8, for example, is the first recorded, comprehensive account of the practice of printing by forms/formes. Alvarez’ transcription, translation, and extensive notes greatly facilitate access to this important historical work, which is in fact among the earliest known printing manuals published in Europe. Joseph Moxon’s Mechanick Exercises was published in 1683. Paredes’ work is an extraordinary rarity: there are only two extant copies, each in a different setting of type, one in the Providence Public Library (formerly belonging to Daniel B. Updike), the other at the Biblioteca Històrica of the Universitat de València. Facsimile reproductions of the two versions are presented side by side from pp. 258-449. The book also features a foreword by Don W. Cruickshank, Emeritus Professor of Spanish at University College, Dublin. Dr. Alvarez is Curator at the Special Collections Research Center, University of Michigan Library. Nicely printed and designed, on excellent quality acid-free paper.

Extensive footnotes, bibliography, and analytical index. ISBN: 978-1-908145-20-8. $120.00

FIRST and ONLY EDITION. In 2009, after a public appeal, the British Library purchased a manuscript ‘Booke’, which Captain Narbrough bought in 1666 and into which he subsequently entered his journals of his voyages and correspondence relating to them. The ‘Booke’ contains his own fair copy of the journal of his voyage through the Strait of Magellan and north to Valdivia in the Sweepstakes, 1669-1671. This is published here for the first time, together with an incomplete and somewhat different copy of the journal, held in the Bodleian Library, which was made for him by a clerk after he returned to England, and which was partially published in 1694. Both versions of the journal together with previously unpublished records made by members of his company, as well as reproductions of the charts which Narbrough relied on and those he produced, are printed here. Narbrough’s mission was to carry out a passenger who referred to himself as Don Carlos Enriques and who claimed to have expert knowledge of Peru and Chile, and contacts with disaffected colonists and indigenous peoples. Don Carlos’s written proposals to King Charles II and his ministers, only recently discovered, are here trans-lated from Spanish, and give a clear sense of the character, if not the real identity, of an adventurer, who gave the authorities in England, Chile and Peru totally different and changing stories about his status and the purpose of the voyage.

The Companhia Geral da Agricultura e Vinhos do Alto Douro was a government oversight organization established by the Portuguese Prime Minister Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, Marquês de Pombal to regulate the trade and production of Port wine. Established in 1756, one of the first official duties of the company was the delineation of the boundaries of the Douro wine region. This act essentially made the Douro the world’s first regional appellation. Under their charter, Pombal invested an immense amount of control in the Douro Wine Company to regulate all exports of Port, set production quanti-ties limits, fix maximum and minimum prices for grapes and to serve as sole arbitrator in any disputes between vine growers and Port shippers. In 1761, the company was further granted a monopoly on the sale of brandy which was used in the fortification process of Port winemaking. The Douro Wine Company continued to operate to 1833 (and was briefly revived from 1843 and 1853).

FIRST and ONLY EDITION of this abbreviated history in comic–book form. Text by Oliveira Marques, cartoons by Abranches.

A.[ntónio] H.[enrique Rodrigo] de Oliveira Marques (1933-2007) was one of the most respected professional Portuguese historians of his generation. In 1962, his par-ticipation in student strikes against the right-wing regime of Oliveira Salazar resulted in his dismissal from the university as a scholar. He left for the United States where he taught history at a number of universities (Auburn, Florida, Columbia, Minnesota and Chicago) between 1965 and 1970. From October 1974 to April 1976, he was director of the National Library of Portugal.

First edition thus of this account of the conquest of Lisbon in 1147. The Siege of Lisbon, from 1 July to 25 October, 1147, was the military action that brought the city of Lisbon under definitive Portuguese control and expelled its Moorish overlords. It was one of the few Christian victories of the Second Crusade, and is seen as a pivotal battle of the wider Reconquista. The original Latin and the Portuguese translation (by the editor) appear on facing pages. The editor has also provided copious annotations. An introduction by Maria João V. Branco occupies pp. 9-51. The original manuscript is in the library of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge.

Lingering Controversies Surrounding the Extinct Monopolistic Companies of Pará e Maranhão and Pernambuco e Paraíba

The final page blank. $800.00

FIRST and ONLY EDITION of this rare tract. The Companhia Geral de Comércio do Grão-Pará e Maranhão (created by royal decree of 7 June 1755), and the Companhia Geral de Comércio de Pernambuco e Paraíba (founded in 1756), were monopolistic companies established under the regime of the Marquês de Pombal in order to promote commerce in their respective regions of Brazil. The monopolies of both companies were extinguished at the beginning of the reign of D. Maria I (the date of the extinction of the Companhia Geral de Comércio do Grão-Pará e Maranhão has been given as 25 February 1778). This was part of the so-called “Viradeira” reversing many of Pombal’s iniciatives. However, the extinction was not clear cut, and the companies continued trading into the 1780s. The liquidation of the Companhia Geral de Comércio do Grão-Pará e Maranhão was a prolonged affair, only concluding in 1914! At the time this tract was issued in 1822, during the fight to establish constitutional government in Portugal, and the beginnings of the push for Brazilian independence, controversy over the remaining funds of the companies was especially heated.

s p e c i a l l i s t 3 2 1 1 3

of Portugal. At the same time, his book is a guide to any future traveler. The work is divided into three parts. The first part briefly (pp. 1-44) treats in general the theme of Portugal’s riches in relation to other nations, both present and past, with references to a number of contemporary and past authors. On pp. 23-25 are a number of references to specific products, such as lead, lithium, indigo, magnesium, cinnamon, from Brazil, Angola, São Tomé, and Cabo Verde. Pará (mentioned three times), Bahia, Rio de Janeiro and Maranhão are specifically named, in addition to Brazil in general, which is named twelve times. The Islands of São Miguel and Terceira in the Azores are also mentioned, as are plants specific to Brazil.

The second part (pp. 45-162) spells out the qualities needed by the traveler and guidelines for obtaining knowledge of the agriculture, commerce, letters and arms of the country, as well as the animal, vegetable and mineral resources.

Part three (pp. 163-97) deals with the preparation and sending of natural specimens to the National Museum. It contains instructions for various divisions of the animal king-dom, including quadrupeds of various sizes, birds, eggs, nests, amphibians, reptiles (with a separate section on snakes), “nantes”, fish, insects, mollusks, conches, starfish, coral, etc., crustaceans, as well as plants and minerals. Pages 199-211 contain supplementary advice to the potential traveler, including which instruments to take, tips on political observation, conversation, diaries, etc. A final section of additions concentrates on the author’s native Tras-os-Montes, devoting considerable attention to the silk factory near Bragança and its products. Montezinho, Lugar de França, and the Villa de Chacim are also discussed.

The two large folding tables are to be completed by the future traveler.The author was a native of Bragança. He served as juiz de fóra at the villa de Moncorva,

and desembargador da Relação do Porto. Later he served in various high administrative posts in Lisbon, where he died in 1819. He was one of the earliest members of the Academia Real das Sciencias de Lisboa.

FIRST and ONLY EDITION? Boston is an eighteenth-century trick-taking card game played throughout the Western world apart from Britain, forming an evolutionary link between Hombre and Solo Whist. Apparently named after a key location in the American War of Independence, it is probably a French game which was devised in France in the 1770s combining the 52-card pack and logical ranking system of partnership Whist with a range of solo and alliance bids borrowed from Quadrille.

Portugal renounces any claims to the Philippines and Marianas.

Popular Poet and Playwright’s First Play*16. VICTORINO, Virgínia. Degredados. Peça em 3 actos. Lisbon: Parce-ria A.M. Pereira, 1931. 8°, contemporary quarter vellum over marbled boards (slight wear at corners), spine with minimally raised bands in five compartments, gilt lettering in second compartment from head and at foot, gilt fillets, top edges rouged, decorated endleaves, original printed wrappers bound in. Occasional light foxing. Overall in very good condition. Author’s signed and dated presentation inscription, boldly written in green ink on half-title: “Ao querido amigo // Dr. Aze-vedo Neves, com a // [illeg.] mais sincera admi- // ração. Lembrança affectuosa // de // Virginia Victorino // Lisboa // Dezembro // de // 1931”. On the verso of the half title is printed “Todos os exemplares d’esta obra são numerados e rubricados // pela autora // [stamped] 23 // [also stamped] V. Victorino”. 224 pp. $150.00

FIRST and ONLY [?] EDITION of this play, apparently the author’s first. The first act is set in Lisbon, the second and third acts take place in Africa. It was first performed at the Theatro Nacional on 21 March 1930. A cast list appears on p. [5]. Included in the cast were Amelia Rey Colaço, Emilia de Oliveira, Thereza Taveira, Robles Monteiro, Assis Pacheco, and Raul de Carvalho. Virginia Victorino enjoyed considerable success as a playwright.

There is some confusion as to the spelling of the author’s surname, as well as her dates of birth and death. Virgínia [Vila-Nova de Sousa] Victorino [as she was baptised, and as printed on the front cover of the present work, or Vitorino, as appears on the title page, and as she is often referred to] (Alcobaça, 1898 [according to the Dicionário cronológico and Grande enciclopédia, or 1895, according to Biblos and Wikipedia]-Lisbon, 1969 [according to Dicionário cronológico, or 1967, according to Biblos and Wikipedia]), poet, dramatist, and educator, was awarded the Prémio Gil Vicente by the Secretariado Nacional de Informação in 1938. In his Antologia da poesia feminina portuguesa (1972), António Salvado stated that she had written “alguns dos mais interessantes sonetos da poesia portuguesa de amor”. Her first book, Namorados, originally self-published in 1920, went out-of-print in six days; eventually there were 14 editions, 12 in Portugal, and 2 in Brazil. Apaixonadamente, first published in 1923, was also a commercial success, enjoying at least 7 editions. Both were the objects of parody.

Provenance: João Alberto Pereira de Azevedo Neves (Angra do Heroísmo, 1877-Lisbon, 1955), better known as Dr. Azevedo Neves, was a physician, medical school professor specializing in anatomy and forensic medicine, and politician. He published numerous medical works as well as some of historical or literary interest, and collaborated in news-papers and magazines. In the political realm, he was a deputy to the Côrtes, vereador to the Lisbon Municipal government, eventually serving as Minister of Commerce and Foreign Minister. In 1944 he served as President of the Academia das Ciências de Lisboa. See Grande encíclopedia, III, 936-7.

Issue number 14 is wrongly numbered 13 [bis], and wrongly dated April 14, 1849 [should be April 21], but the content is completely different from the actual issue number 13, which is correctly dated April 14, and the pagination follows. Numbers 1-26. $1,200.00

FIRST and ONLY EDITION, a COMPLETE RUN of this rare scientific newspa-per, not without some reflection of the political polemics of the day, said to have been founded by Manuel Bento de Sousa and Tomás de Carvalho. The first issue is dated 20 January 1849; the final issue is dated 14 July 1849. From the second to the thirteenth issue, José Eduardo Magalhães Coutinho is listed on the masthead as “Redactor prin-cipal”. Beginning with issue number 13 bis [i.e. issue number 14], “Th. de Carvalho” is given as “Redactor responsavel” above the colophon, a designation which continues to the final issue. Many of the articles are anonymous, with some signed “X” [according to Innocêncio these were by Tomás de Carvalho] or “Y”. Issue number 24, pp. [73]-76 is devoted entirely to an article on diabetes, signed “Thomaz de Carvalho”. There are articles signed by Magalhães Coutinho in issue nunber 6, pp. 22-3, issue 8, p. [29], and issue 9, p. [33]. Bernardino António Gomes [Filho] contributed an article on analysis of blood in issue 7, p. 27. J.J.
